Back in the glory days of Apple Developer Tech Support in the late 80s, they published a whole Technote on “The Dogcow”, which had become their mascot. That technote established the dogcow’s name as Clarus. This was also the early years of Claris the software spin-off of Apple, so I’m sure the name was a joking reference to that.
Clarus is proof that even a goddess like Susan Kare can have an off day, so you might as well laugh about it.
FINALLY
Maybe ResEdit will return too…
It’s also in iOS: https://twitter.com/VafeR/status/1509220275866406912

Anyone else see the headline and think it was referring to ClarisWorks, the successor to AppleWorks and predecessor of iWork?
